Taking full account of the source here, Watford must be having a laugh if they think Southampton would be willing to deal at £10million for midfielder James Ward-Prowse.

The Sun claim that the Vicarage Road outfit have made an offer of £10million for our former England Under 21 international skipper and are now waiting to hear whether manager Mark Hughes is willing to deal or not.

The 23-year-old former Academy graduate made 33 appearances for us last season, chipping in with four goals and he now has well over 200 appearances in total to his name in our shirt since first making his debut back in the 2011/12 campaign in a League Cup clash with Crystal Palace.

Despite competition in midfield, Ward-Prowse gives us something different, especially his quality and delivery from set pieces, and whilst his goal rate can certainly improve, that should come in time. Having put the hard work in to see him develop, for £10million this shouldn’t even be a question we need to answer.

Not only from our own perspective but looking at Watford’s own dealings in the transfer market – £10million for a player proven at this level is an insult.
